IlvInputStream (Perforce JViews 10.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- ilog.views.io.IlvInputStream

Direct Known Subclasses:

IlvDXFInputStream, IlvMapInputStream, SVGInputStream
```
public class IlvInputStream
extends Object
```
This class allows a Perforce JViews formatted file to be read. The files must have been saved by an IlvOutputStream in order to be read. Note that this format is different from the Perforce Views C++ format. This class provides a wide range of methods that allow you to read the fields of a graphic object.

```
public IlvInputStream(InputStream stream)
```
    Creates an IlvInputStream from an InputStream.
- Method Detail
  - isASCIIMode
```
public boolean isASCIIMode()
```
    Returns whether the stream is in ASCII mode. Initially, the input stream is always in ASCII mode when reading an IVL file. However, if it detects during the read process that it contains binary data, it switches to binary mode. Therefore, this method can be used after the reading of the stream to determine whether the stream contained ASCII data or binary data.
    
    Since:
    
    JViews 8.1
  - setDocumentBase
```
public void setDocumentBase(URL url)

                               throws IlvReadFileException
```
    Reads a field containing a nested Object[] value. The specification indicates which objects can be found in the array, and is used to perform a type check during reading.
    Example specification: "(i)*sst"
    In this example, it reads 4 entries and returns an array of four. The first entry is an array of Integer objects. The second entry is a string. The third array is a string that acts as type indicator for the forth entry. The forth entry is an object whose type is according to the type indicator, that is, if the type indicator is "i", then the forth entry is an Integer object.
    Brackets indicate nestings. Example: "((i)*sst)*"
    In this example, the returned array consists of subarrays. Each subarray is organized as in the first example. The "*" indicates the that (i) array is repetitive, that is, contains multiple integers.
    The type indicators:
    - b - boolean
    - c - java.awt.Color
    - d - double
    - f - float
    - g - ilog.view.io.IlvPersistentObject as graphic
    - i - integer
    - l - long
    - p - ilog.view.io.IlvPoint
    - r - ilog.view.io.IlvRect
    - s - string
    - t - typed object. The predecessor entry must indicate the type.
    - B - java.awt.BasicStroke
    - F - java.awt.Font
    - G - java.awt.GradientPaint
    - O - ilog.view.io.IlvPersistentObject
    - P - ilog.view.util.java2d.IlvPattern
    - T - ilog.view.IlvTransformer
    - X - ilog.view.util.java2d.IlvTexture
    Parameters:
    
    field - The name of the field to be read.
    
    spec - The specification of the types in the returned array.
    
    Throws:
    
    IlvReadFileException - if the field is not present or if the content of the field does not match the type specification. If the field is not present, then an IlvFieldNotFoundException is launched. This allows optional fields to be detected.

  - readExtensions
```
protected void readExtensions()
                       throws IlvReadFileException
